Creamy Carrot and Ginger Soup with Coconut Milk Recipe
You’ll be so glad to have this carrot and ginger soup with coconut milk on the table. It’s creamy, colorful, and full of cozy flavor that feels both comforting and satisfying. Serve it as a festive starter, a nourishing lunch, or a simple weeknight dinner, and you’ll love that it all comes together in about 35 minutes!
Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger and let them cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Toss in the carrots and pour in the broth. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup right in the pot until smooth. If you prefer a standing blender, transfer the soup in batches and blend until creamy, keeping the lid slightly cracked so steam can escape safely.
Stir in the coconut milk, reserving a little to drizzle on top for garnish. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.

Notes
Cut the carrots into even slices so they cook at the same pace and blend into a smooth, creamy soup.
When the soup feels too thick, add more broth instead of water to keep the flavor full and balanced.
For a little heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes, cayenne, or finish with a drizzle of chili oil.
Serve: Serve with bread along with a green salad for balance. It’s also great with sandwiches, wraps and entrees like chicken breast, baked salmon, or steak.Store: After the soup cools, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for a month to enjoy later. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if it thickens.
